DJ360 6,347 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 So will I. I'm always reminded of this tale:... Elvis was singing in Vegas or somewhere, when he got heckled. Let's be honest, he could be very poor in his later years. His reply. " If you wanted to hear a singer.. you should have gone to see Roy Orbison". Peerless.

ValuerJim 277 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Got Only the Lonely and Blue Angel from the radio shop in Vernon Road, Basford, and was listening to him only yesterday in the car, with the Traveling Wilburys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I went to see him at The Odeon where he was going to be supported by The Beatles - but The Beatles had reached mega-stardom by the time of the concert so the auditorium was full of young screamers.
